They placed 5 trees and one died. They promised if any died they would come replace it. I told them 2 weeks after that I think one was dying. They told me to give it time. They stopped responding to texts. I called and now the said THEY ARE OUT OF BUSINESS so they can’t help me. Don’t trust them.

I was happy with Cruz Sons' work on our retaining wall. The crew was friendly, but I felt the project took longer than I expected. The work quality was solid, though, and the final result was exactly what we wanted.
